Sledgehammer Games, the developer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, has released the latest CoD installment nerfing the Striker SMG which is dominant in the open beta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the latest update introduced by the MW3 developer, this gun will see its maximum damage, near-medium damage, far-medium damage, minimum damage, and aim-down sights time decrease.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the other Automatic Rifles (AR), including SVA-545, MTZ-556, and MCW, receive buffs with increased bullet velocity.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the SMG fans may still find viability in specific situations, to shift the game\u2019s opening meta towards assault rifles.<\/p>\n

If you want to learn the exact changes, you can check them out below.<\/p>\n
